Boil the artichokes until tender. After draining, drop them into
batter of fine breadcrumbs and egg. Fry crisp and serve with parsley
sauce and slices of lemon.
=28. Mock Fish Cutlets.=
Two ozs. rice, 4-ozs. white haricot beans, 1/2-gill of thick curry
sauce, pepper and salt, egg and breadcrumbs.
Make a thick curry sauce, add to it the boiled rice and beans chopped
up fine, pepper and salt. Cook together for a few minutes, then turn
out on a plate and leave to cool. Form into balls or small flat cakes,
dip in egg, then crumbs, and fry in boiling oil.
=29. Fillets of Mock Sole.=
Bring to a boil half a pint of milk, and stir in 2-ozs. of ground
rice. Add 1-oz. of butter, a teaspoonful of grated onion, and a pinch
of mace; also 3 large tablespoonfuls of potato which has been put
through a fine sieve. Mix and let all simmer slowly in the saucepan
for 15 minutes. The mixture should be fairly stiff. When removed from
the fire, add 1 egg and 1 yolk well beaten. Mix thoroughly, and turn
out on a flat dish not quite half an inch thick, and allow it to get
quite cold. Then divide into fillet-shaped pieces, brush over with the
beaten white of egg, toss in fine breadcrumbs, and fry in plenty of
smoking-hot fat. Drain, and serve very hot, garnished with slices of
lemon, and with Hollandaise sauce.
=30. Mock Fish Roe.=
Peel and slice 3 or 4 tomatoes, and put in a saucepan with nearly half
a pint of water, and some grated onion. Cook until the tomato is soft
and smooth; then sprinkle in sufficient maize meal to make the mixture
fairly stiff, add pepper and salt and one heaped tablespoonful of
grated cheese. Form into fillets or cutlets, and fry in the usual
way.
=31. Filleted Salsify.=
Cook some salsify until tender, slice it into quarters lengthways, and
cut it into 3-in. lengths; dip in egg and breadcrumbs, and fry crisp;
serve with parsley sauce (recipe 164), and garnish with slices of
lemon and parsley.
=32. Mock White Fish.=
Boil 1/2-pt. milk and thicken with rather more than 1-oz. of semolina,
to make a little stiffer than for rice mould. Add a lump of butter,
salt, a little grated onion and a saltspoonful of mace, and let all
cook together for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Boil 3 potatoes and
put through masher, and whilst hot add to the semolina or it will not
set well. Pour into dish to stiffen, and when quite cold cut into
slices, roll in egg and white breadcrumbs, fry crisp in Nutter and
serve with parsley sauce as a fish course. The mixture must be stiff,
for the frying softens the semolina again.
=33. Mock Hake Steaks.=
Put in a pan 3-ozs. breadcrumbs, with 1/2-pint of milk and a pinch of
salt. Stir over a slow fire for a few minutes; then add 2-ozs. flour,
the yolk of 1 egg, 3-ozs. grated cheese, 1-oz. butter, and a pinch of
mace. Cook for fifteen minutes; when quite cold form into fritters,
dip in egg and breadcrumbs, and fry in boiling oil till a nice golden
brown. Serve with piquante sauce.
